Everyday Matters Challenge #32 Draw a Teapot-- Watercolor Journal


If we have a teacup (previous post) we need a teapot. I love everything to do with tea (the tea itself, the beautiful teacups, the silverware, the teapot, and even the dressing up for formal teas). I love to have tea with a friend in our homes or in a tea house. Even love tea luncheons. Any excuse to participate in the ritual of slowing down and enjoying the presence of others. Even a personal cup of tea gives you the opportunity to slow down and contemplate life in a different way.

  6. Another great post, and surely now you have the perfect couple :)
    I am noticing that you're putting more effort on lighting and creating shadows, and creating a nice symmetrical shape, it's looking really good!

  8. I love tea parties too and the yummy tea sandwiches. Delicate shading, soft greys and that blue background are great. I also love your profile self portrait. Clever and great idea.

  9. Wonderful sketch! I think a virtual tea party sounds great...everyone could post sketches of their tea cups etc!

  10. This is a pot with personality! Proud, quirky, I think - thinks a lot of itself. I love the shape and all of the swirly flourishes.
